Several factors determine the amount and type of financial aid you are offered.

Your financial need as determined by FAFSA

Your willingness to accept various types of aid

Availability of funds

A financial aid award consists of gift aid (such as scholarships and grants which do not have to be repaid) and self-help aid (such as student loans and work study which must be borrowed or earned).

What is a FAFSA? Submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the starting point for accessing most forms of federal and state aid. Click here to go to the application Web site. Remember to use the free government website.

If you have any questions about your financial aid award letter, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 951-343-4236 or finaid@calbaptist.edu

Save Cal Grant

The Cal Grant award for new students entering a private, non-profit university will be reduced by 11% - down to $8,056. This follows two years of cuts to Cal Grants at private schools. We are asking all members of the CBU community to sign the petition to save the full Cal Grant amount.
